Three Senniger Attorneys Named
"Lawyer of the Year"

Best Lawyers, the oldest and most respected peer-review publication in the legal profession, has now named its "Lawyer of the Year" in St. Louis for each particular practice area. Only one lawyer in St. Louis in each discipline is designated "Lawyer of the Year." Paul I. Fleischut has been named the “St. Louis Best Lawyers Trademark Law Lawyer of the Year” for 2012. John K. Roedel, Jr. has been named the "St. Louis Best Lawyers Litigation - Patent Lawyer of the Year" for 2012. Michael E. Godar has been named the "St. Louis Best Lawyers Patent Law Lawyer of the Year" for 2012. Best Lawyers had earlier selected eight Senniger attorneys for inclusion in its larger list of the best attorneys in St. Louis. Seven of those attorneys were selected in various areas of Intellectual Property and one was selected in Appellate Practice.

After more than a quarter of a century in publication, Best Lawyers is designating “Lawyers of the Year” in high-profile legal specialties in large legal communities. Best Lawyers compiles its lists of outstanding attorneys by conducting exhaustive peer-review surveys in which thousands of leading lawyers confidentially evaluate their professional peers. The current, 18th edition of The Best Lawyers in America (2012) is based on more than 3.9 million detailed evaluations of lawyers by other lawyers. The lawyers being honored as “Lawyers of the Year” have received particularly high ratings by earning a high level of respect among their peers for their abilities, professionalism, and integrity.

Senniger Powers congratulates Paul I. Fleischut, John K. Roedel, Jr., and Michael E. Godar on this outstanding achievement.
